This year’s GTC organized a healthcare track dedicated to applications at the nexus of artificial intelligence and healthtech. A number of workshops focused on applying machine learning algorithms using Nvidia hardware, Graphical Processing Units (GPUs), to predict the onset of early stage cancer detection, with many sessions analyzing other cancerous tumors in anatomical structures such as the lung, breast, and brain.

The twin tides of digitization and artificial intelligence have risen so high that no business can ignore them. IT has come out from behind the curtain as the driver of value and innovation.
